Chapter 132: Food
"Feng Shanggong ......"
Feng Shanggong hurriedly responded: "Yes, what does the princess command?" ”
"Listen."
What to listen to?
Feng Shanggong was puzzled at first, but when she calmed down and listened carefully, she heard a faint laughter from the wind.
"Maybe it's someone passing by the door."
"How dare anyone passing by outside the door have such courage." The fifth princess said: "This is the voice from Anhe Palace. ”
Whether it is a palace maid, a eunuch or a guard, who will pass by the palace road outside the door, they have always been respectful and cautious, hanging their heads and closing their mouths, where can anyone dare to talk and laugh like this.
Feng Shanggong wanted to comfort her, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was useless to say such empty words.
The temperament of the fifth princess is not as good as before. In the past, Feng Shanggong wanted to coax her, but he could always coax her a few times. In the current situation, the fifth princess suddenly faded away from the ignorant part of her personality, and Feng Shanggong's words in the past could no longer coax her.
Sometimes Feng Shanggong still felt that if she had something to say to the fifth princess earlier, instead of always coaxing her with nice words to persuade her for peace of mind, maybe she and the fifth princess would not have come to this point.
Thankfully, it's not too late.
"I remember when it snowed last year, a group of people from Anhegong were playing in the courtyard, and snowballs flew out of the courtyard wall and happened to hit Aunt Yingluo's head who was passing by."
Feng Shanggong also remembered this.
It's a coincidence, the queen sent someone to send something at that hour, and the errand work of usually sending things and passing the word is not Yingluo's for a long time, but she came in person that day, but a snowball came out of the wall and was smashing on her head, smashing her hair full of snow, and she fell down when she covered her head and shouted.
The people in Anhe Palace knew that they were in trouble, so they hurriedly came out to help, and a few little palace maids and little eunuchs who were fighting knelt in two rows to admit their mistakes. I heard that Yingluo wiped his hair with a dry hand towel, and said with a smile: "I know that you didn't mean it, even if you did it, you don't have the ability to throw it so accurately." ”
As a result, no one in the Anhe Palace was punished, and Yingluo was extraordinarily kind and generous.
"At that time, I thought that if someone smashed her in Lu Jingxuan, she would definitely not just say it so lightly. She must have thought that someone was deliberately causing evil, and even if she didn't beat or punish her, she would hold a grudge in her heart. ”
"They are all the same sisters, why do even slaves and maids dare to step on the high and bow down like this and not take me seriously?"
There was no resentment in the fifth princess's tone, on the contrary, she was very calm.
This calm didn't make Feng Shanggong feel relieved at all, but even more worried.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid. I now know that since birth, people have been divided into three, six, nine and so on, even if they are sisters, there are also high and low. ”
In the past, when the five princesses had similar complaints, Feng Shanggong always tried every means to persuade them, saying that they were all the same princesses, and the emperor treated his daughters equally, and there was no thin and thick difference.
Feng Shanggong said this smoothly, and the fifth princess also liked to listen to it. In her heart, she is naturally willing to believe that her father treats her like other princesses, no, compared to others, her father should love her more. After all, she has not had the love of her biological mother since she was born, but the fourth princess still has a large number of relatives such as her mother, brother, uncle and cousin, she is the only one who is alone, and her father should love her more.
In the past, Feng Shanggong coaxed her, the people around her coaxed her, and more importantly, she coaxed herself.
In fact...... She didn't know that her father was cold and alienated from her, not to mention that she couldn't compare with the fourth princess, even if she was compared with the other three sisters, it seemed that they were all inferior.
"Princess, hand stove."
The palace maid Keqing handed over a hand stove.
The hot charcoal has just been replaced in the hand stove, and the outside is still wrapped in a brocade stove cover, and it is warm and baked when it is received in the hand.
Feng Shanggong glanced at the sleeve and felt a little familiar—isn't it familiar? This was changed from an old dress of the fifth princess last year. At this time last year, the five princesses were not as bleak as they are now, and the new clothes for the winter were carried several boxes, and the color patterns of this piece were not liked by the five princesses, so they only tried to press the bottom of the box. Of course, last year's clothes no longer fit when worn again this year, and the fifth princess has grown taller this year.
But Keqing is also a skillful person, and this old clothes can still come in handy.
At present, in Lu Jingxuan, there is only one palace person who serves the five princesses closely. Although she doesn't talk much, she used to be ridiculed for being a wooden man, but she is very good at work, changing clothes and combing hair for the fifth princess, doing all the work inside and outside the house, and even climbing up and down, tinkering, washing and sewing, she can also do some cooking, and boil some soup and rice porridge with a tea stove in the morning and evening. Feng Shanggong is also really fortunate sometimes, but fortunately it is Keqing who stays. If they leave the green and green and they don't like it, then it's hard now. They can only say flattering words, and the energy saving in peacetime is the icing on the cake, but now it is not the best use.
Feng Shanggong persuaded again: "Princess, let's go in, it's windy outside, and the snow is getting tighter and tighter, and it's not a joke to catch a cold." ”
"Yes, if you really catch a cold, I don't know if you can ask a doctor." The fifth princess turned around and walked back, and Feng Shanggong and Keqing hurriedly followed.
Hearing the last words of the fifth princess, Feng Shanggong's heart was also tight.
If the fifth princess is really sick, will the emperor be relieved of this punishment as soon as he softens his heart?
…… I'm afraid it won't work.
In the past, the five princesses had complained of illness too many times, and eight out of ten times were fake, and the emperor and queen were afraid that they had long been impatient. If the princess is really sick, and she can't let it out, and she can't make the emperor soft-hearted, then she will lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.
Whether it's a real illness or a fake illness, it won't work.
The inner sanctum, where the five princesses lived plainly, still looked decent and warm at a glance. However, if you look closely, you can see that the curtains and curtains are out of season and have not been replaced, and the color of the chairs and cushions is no longer bright.
Fortunately, these things are still clean and tidy, and they can barely maintain their appearance.
The meal had been served, and as usual it was two dishes, one soup.
Feng Shanggong knew at a glance that Ke Qing must have reheated the food from the dining room before serving it.
The meals delivered in the dining room are all half-tepid, and it is difficult to eat when it is cold. Keqing is careful and thoughtful, and every time she delivers food in the dining room, she reheats it on the small tea stove and serves it again.
No matter what the dish is, at least it's hot, it looks decent, and it's better than cold dishes and cold rice.
The fifth princess sat down.
The dining room sent a dish of tofu and a dish of steamed fish. The tofu sauce is very heavy, and the steamed fish is dry and has no soup at all, and neither dish looks like an elephant.
But now she doesn't have to choose.
"You two can sit down and use it together."
Feng Shanggong was taken aback, and even Keqing's eyes widened in surprise.
Both suspected they had misheard.
